[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Yellowstone area they recommend bear spray - do they have that in Alaska? And does it work to scare off bears? [/quote] Bear spray is not a deterrent (like mosquito spray), it's something you use if a bear is actively charging you. It has to be accessible when you're hiking. There are no recorded attacks of bears on groups of more than 4 (? I think. Might be 5) people, so be noisy. That being said, it has been a bear-y year. I wouldn't go hiking around creeks, especially unprepared. In Anchorage, maybe. Be careful about food storage -- not sure if you'll ever be sleeping outside of the RV, but if so ANY food and ANY smelly stuff (toothpaste!) should NOT be in your tent, ever. (I'm a different Alaska person than the other person, but I did grow up there and my family still lives there. Also, we didn't own guns). [/quote]
